Interesting discovery: I checked the webcams and noticed that, although Corpus Christi still isn't working, they have gotten the Austin one active again and there is a change in the works. One of the turbines has the blade material removed and there are elevated inclined platforms added to the structure between the blades. It looks to me like they are seeing if they can make them more marketable by adding small solar panels to compliment the occasionally spinning turbines.

After learning that Kohl's is only realizing a miniscule 2% energy savings, it's obvious these things offer potential users an unacceptable ROI. If these new things are for solar panels, this really demonstrates how dumb management is. Right now solar panels cannot improve the ROI because the cost of adding them to the installation won't be offset by the amount of electricity they produce. Like wind turbines that run no matter which way the wind blows, solar panels still haven't reached parity even with generous government subsidies.

These turbines will never be accepted for the simple reason that they only work when the wind is blowing from the right direction. The rest of the time they sit still doing absolutely nothing but negatively impacting the architectural design of the building.

Anyway... it will be fun to watch the folks at BLDW try to promote this new twist. Maybe they can get enough buying to allow their supporting shareholders to dump more stock so they can fund the company for a few more quarters.

Of course... we may find in the new quarterly report... after this big LED project was completed last quarter that the company is in the black and enjoying substantial cash flow... anything is possible. We'll all know on Tuesday. I know I'm on pins and needles and absolutely giddy with anticipation.
